Sha’ab Marsa Alam
Why dive here
With 52+ marine species recorded in the area - including dolphins, humpback whales, oceanic whitetip sharks, spinner dolphins and whale sharks - Sha’ab Marsa Alam offers some of Deep South's richest wall diving. Water ranges 22-31°C, warmest July, August, September.
Sha’ab Marsa Alam is a solid choice for a laid-back dive, just a quick boat ride from the marina. We usually kick off with a gentle drift along the main reef, where the corals keep things colourful and interesting. The real draw here is a small, old wreck, draped in soft corals and home to plenty of little critters. Keep an eye out for Pharaoh cuttlefish tucked into crevices and the occasional cowfish pottering about, especially around the seagrass beds nearby. With a maximum depth of 18m and good visibility, it's an easy dive that often delivers a dolphin fly-by.
